Hunk Watch: Mario Lopez

Former "Saved by the Bell" hunk Mario Lopez who had a very fruitful TV season with booty-shaking appearances on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and FX's "Nip/Tuck" (who can forget that one?) as well as hosting duties on a number of pageants, can still be seen...

...dancing with his girlfriend Karina Smirnoff on EXTRA Magazine (coinciding with the new cycle of ABC's reality contest).

He will next appear in a Christmas-themed comedy "Holidays in Handcuffs" with Melissa Joan Hart. Here are a few candid images of the actor running on the beach in Santa Monica on Tuesday.

Eva Longoria's Buddy

Who says straight men and women can't be friends? Just ask "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria who keeps bumping into her good buddy Mario Lopez everywhere she goes.

The petite star of ABC's dramedy who is getting married to her fiance basketball star Tony Parker in Paris, France this July was snapped with Lopez on Friday night at the @nd Anniversary Party of the Pussycat Dolls Lounge at PURE club in Las Vegas.





The actress wore the same dress Hayden Panettiere wore at TV Academy's "An Evening with Heroes."



Lopez, who sizzled earlier this season in an unforgettable testosterone-filled Nip/Tuck shower scene, was seen the same night entertaining bubblegum pop star and host Jessica Simpson and her two fleshy friends at the party.



Then on Saturday night, Eva attended the Oscar De La Hoya/Mayweather match and surprise, surprise Mario was there as well. Can't blame her. If I had a buddy like Mario, I'd want to bump into him every day.

The CW is sure lining those hotties up. The network that brings into your homes the likes of Tom Welling, Jenson Ackles and Chad Michael Murray has already signed Passion hunk Justin Hartley for a drama pilot. Now "Dancing" star Mario Lopez is also thrown into the mix.

Lopez has kept busy since finishing his stint on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and generating enormous buzz with his guest appearance on FX's "Nip/Tuck."

Mario Lopez Meets The Incredibles

The Dancing with the Stars alum served as a healthy role model for Disney's "Say Yes to Fitness" campaign on Thursday, posing for photographers with the Incredibles and other Disney characters.

The campaign encourages teens to make a New Year's pledge to eat right and excercise.




Former "Saved By The Bell" star found fresh fame in recent months thanks to his participation in ABC's blockbuster reality contest (and let us not forget the steamy butt-flashing cameo on Nip/Tuck).

Earlier this week, Miss America pageant organizers, Country music Television Inc., announced that Mario Lopez will host this year's event in Las Vegas. Last year's 85th pageant was hosted by "Desperate Housewives" star James Denton.

THAT'S HOT

TV Guide magazine has just published their list of 25 hottest TV sensations this season and there is little surprise that the steamy doctor from Grey's Anatomy Eric Dane not only got the "Hot Doc" honour, but also got to grace the magazine's cover.

Among other 'hotties':

Masi Oka is the hottest geek (the cute Japanese salesman who can bend time and space continuum on NBC's "Heroes" is part-time programming consultant for George Lucas' visual-effects studio);

Mario Lopez is the "Hot Feet" (ballroom dancing actor who got to flaunt his enviable physique on FX's "Nip/Tuck" has generated a lot of buzz with his sultry partner Karina Smirnoff);

"Hot Coach" Kyle Chandler of NBC's "Friday Night Lights" is both tough and graceful as coach of the mighty Panthers in a small Texas town;

Edie Brit's "Hot Relative" Josh Henderson makes Julie Mayer go boy-crazy, although with that bod and face Eva Longoria's Gaby should have been the first to snatch him;

"Hot New Face" America Ferrera is America's new darling (cliched pun alert!) and this season's biggest sweetheart.
